A. The approximate height of the building is 100 m

B. We can use the arc length formula to obtain an approximation of BC since angle A is small.

A.

The approximate height of the building is 100 m

To find the approximate height of the building, we consider the diagram.

From the diagram, we have that using trigonometry,

tanA = BC/AB

Now

  • A = 0.05 radians,
  • BC = height of building and
  • AB = 2 km = 2000 m
<h3 /><h3>Finding the value of BC</h3>

So, making BC subject of the formua, we have

BC = ABtanA

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

BC = ABtanA

BC =2000tan0.05

BC = 2000 × 0.05

BC = 100 m

So, the approximate height of the building is 100 m

B.

We can use the arc length formula to obtain an approximation of BC since angle A is small.

<h3 /><h3>Arc Length Formula</h3>

We know that the arc length formula L = rФ where

  • r = radius and
  • Ф = angle in radians
<h3 /><h3>The approximate height</h3>

Now BC = ABtanA

We know that Ф ≅ tanФ when Ф is small.

<h3 /><h3>The comparison</h3>

So, BC = AB × A which is the arc length formula with

  • L = BC,
  • r = AB and
  • Ф = A

So, we can use the arc length formula to obtain an approximation of BC since angle A is small.

2. 2(x+1.25) = 3.5
dangina [55]

Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(x + 1.25) = 3.5 ← divide both sides by 2

x + 1.25 = 1.75 ( subtract 1.25 from both sides )

x = 0.5
